Zero,
I've been trying to reply to your post, but get a blank white page. I hope this gets to you.
Thank you for the links -- and thanks Ed for the info.
My doctor is allowing me to go on Parnate (I begin in 2 days), stating that the albuteral inhalor has a secondary interaction with Parnate and this does not worry him very much. Considering he is VERY conservative, this is comforting; however, as I mentioned, I have a very mild asthma and can't remember the last time I used the inhalor; it generally expires without my noticing, and then I replace it! Also, we agreed I would simply not use it right now and we would continue to research the question. I did mention knowing someone who had more questions on this, but I've been bombarding him with my own questions, so...
However, I will be spending several hours there on Monday (because of my own low bp, he wants to keep me there while I start the Nardil) and he did say he can get me articles if I give him citations. So, if you have any citations, I can try to get you more info. Your case is probably different given you are on other asthma medications. I have certainly needed to go off several medications, including ones which might later be added back in (e.g. ritalin, which has been used with MAOI, despite contraindications.)
Sorry to not be of more help.

PS How did you get the links into your post? Can I use a different editor here?
